artichoke

Either of two plants belonging to the sunflower family, parts of which are eaten as vegetables. The common or globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a form of thistle native to the Mediterranean. It is tall, with purplish-blue flowers; the leaflike structures (bracts) around the unopened flower are eaten. The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), which has edible tubers, is a native of North America (its common name is a corruption of the Italian for sunflower, girasole). (Family Compositae.)
